Can someone please explain what the difference is between this weeks prompt: Mommy/Mummy and the prompt of exactly a year ago, which Hsu answered thusly?: http://community.livejournal.com/theatrical_muse/7272219.html

Yes, I can see that there can be a difference, but really most only have one mother to write about. Another annoying case of been there/done that. Why do I bother waiting for the TM mods to come up with something original for a prompt?

Plus, can anyone ever see Hsu referring to Cassandra as Mummy? unless he decides to remove her organs and wrap her in bandages, of course. *g*

It'll need some thought on how to work it, but he has an idea or two. :D

Im anxious to see that, then. :)

I have an advantage over Fanny. I have been immersed in Ancient Egyptian history for most of my life. I have even written several characters and in an interactive fiction community writing for Ancient Egyptian characters. Fanny, however, has no point of reference - she has read about it, and studied it, but really doesn't have any sort of knowledge along those lines. I am anxious to see what you and Hsu do with it and what Fanny's reaction will be. *grin*

Admittedly my knowledge of Ancient Egypt is not much more than Fanny's, probably less, and mostly predates Hsu, I believe. Of course, there are the Tarim Basin mummies from China, also...which may be an interesting angle, especially as they are Western Asian in appearance and could answer why Hsu has neither Chinese or Mongolian type features. *g* Hmmmm....
